Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to an apparatus for supplying fastener parts, such as retainer washers for hook-and-eye fasteners, one at at a time to a loading station in a fastener assembling and setting machine.
- There are known various parts supplying apparatus incorporated into an automatic fastener assembling and setting machine, for supplying fastener parts one at a time to a loading station in the machine. Such known apparatus generally comprise a storage box detachably mounted on a chute for storing a predetermined number of fastener parts, and a pusher associated with the storage box to force the fastener parts one at a time from the box into a longitudinal guide track in the chute. With this construction, the operation of the fastener assembling and setting machine is interrupted each time the storage box is replaced after the fastener parts in one storage box have fully been delivered. This interruption results in a low fastener assembling-and-setting efficiency. Another disadvantage is in that the fastener parts are likely to be deformed or otherwise damaged when forced by the pusher into the guide track.
- The chute of the known apparatus generally includes a lower end portion curved gently toward the loading station to ensure that the fastener parts can be delivered to the loading station in horizontal orientation or posture. The curved lower end portion is however difficult to manufacture and makes the parts supplying apparatus expensive to construct as a whole.
- The present invention seeks to provide a parts supplying apparatus which will overcome or substantially eliminate the foregoing drawbacks of the known apparatus.
- The present invention further seeks to provide an apparatus for supplying fastener parts reliably one at a time to a loading station in a fastener assembling and setting machine without interrupting the operation of the fastener assembling and setting machine.
- The present invention further seeks to provide a parts supplying apparatus having structural features for effecting a damage-free gravity delivery of fastener parts from a chute to a loading station in a fastener assembling and setting machine.
- The present invention further seeks to provide a fastener supplying apparatus having a posture-control block which enables the fastener parts to be delivered to a predetermined loading position in horizontal orientation or posture.
- According to the present invention, there is provided an apparatus for supplying fastener parts one at a time to a loading station in a fastener assembling and setting machine, said apparatus including: a chute having a longitudinal guide track in and along which the fastener parts slide downwardly one after another, and further having a discharge end disposed adjacent to the loading station; and dropper means associated with said chute for delivering the fastener parts one at a time from said chute to the loading station, characterized in that said dropper means comprises a first bell crank pivotably mounted on said chute and having a stopper portion projectable into said guide track for preventing a leading fastener part from sliding downwardly beyond said stopper portion, a second bell crank pivotably mounted on said chute and having a presser portion spaced upstream from said stopper portion by a distance slightly larger than the maximum extent of each fastener part in the longitudinal direction of said guide track, said presser portion being projectable into said guide track to urge the next succeeding fastener part against said chute, and an actuating rod reciprocably supported on said chute and operatively connected with said first and second bell cranks for oscillating the latter to move said stopper portion and said presser portion to alternately project into and retract from said guide track.
- Many other advantages and features of the present invention will become manifest to those versed in the art upon making reference to the detailed description and the accompanying sheets of drawings in which a preferred structural embodiment incorporating the principles of the present invention is shown by way of illustrative example.

- As shown-in Figure 1, a
parts supplying apparatus 10 embodying the present invention generally comprises an inclined straight chute 11 (only a lower portion being shown) connected at an upper loading end with a parts feeder (not shown) and having alower discharge end 12 facing toward a loading station S in a fastener assembling and setting machine, for gravity delivery of fastener parts P from the parts feeder therethrough to the loading station S. Theapparatus 10 also includes adropper mechanism 13 associated with thechute 11 for delivering the fastener parts P one at a time from thechute 11 to the loading station S, and a posture-control block 14 disposed on the loading station S for controlling the posture of each fastener part P as the latter is delivered from thedischarge end 12 to the loading station S. The loading station S is defined on aguide groove 15 in ahorizontal guide block 16 which constitutes a part of aloading unit 17. Theloading unit 17 also includes a feed means or pusher 18 reciprocably movable in and along theguide groove 15 for feeding the fastener part P from the loading station S to a working station (not shown) in the fastener assembling and setting machine. The fastener parts P shown in the illustrated embodiment comprise retainer washers of hook-and eye fasteners. It is noted however that theparts supplying apparatus 10 of the present invention is effectively usefull for supplying planar fastener parts of any kind. - The
chute 11 includes alongitudinal guide track 19 in and along which the fastener parts P slide downwardly one after another, theguide track 19 facing to a front side of thechute 11. Thechute 11 also includes alongitudinal slot 20 extending upwardly from thedischarge end 12 to a certain extent and opening to theguide track 19, and a longitudinalrecessed portion 21 contiguous to theslot 20 and facing away from theguide track 19. - The
dropper mechanism 13 includes afirst bell crank 22 pivotably disposed in therecessed portion 21, asecond bell crank 23 pivotably mounted on thechute 11 and disposed upstream of thefirst bell crank 22, and a reciprocable actuatingrod 24 operatively connected with the first andsecond bell cranks - The
first bell crank 22 is pivotably connected by apin 25 to thechute 11 and has a pair of bifurcatedlegs 26, 27. Oneleg 26 is directed toward thedischarge end 12 of thechute 11 and the other leg 27 is directed perpendicularly away from theguide track 19. Theleg 26 includes astopper portion 28 disposed on a distal end of theleg 26 and projecting perpendicularly therefrom in a direction away from theleg 26. Thestopper portion 28 is movable to project into and retract from theguide track 19 through theslot 20, in response to the rocking movement of thefirst bell crank 22. Thestopper portion 28 is normally held in a retracted position remote from theguide track 19. - The
second bell crank 23 is pivatably connected by apin 29 to thechute 11 at one side of the latter and has a pair of bifurcatedarms arm 30 of which extends from thepin 29 in substantially the same direction as theleg 26 of thefirst bell crank 22, theother arm 31 being directed perpendicularly away from theguide track 19. Atorsion coil spring 32 is disposed around thepin 29 and acts between thepin 29 and thesecond bell crank 23 to turn the latter clockwise in Figure 1. Thearm 30 includes acircular presser portion 33 disposed on a distal end thereof for urging the fastener part P2 against thechute 11. As shown in Figures 2 and 3, the presser portion comprises a circular plate or disc supported on the distal end of thearm 30 via aconnector block 34 interposed therebetween. Theconnector block 34 is secured by a screw to thearm 30 and extends therefrom to such an extent that thepresser disc 33 is disposed in registry with theguide track 19. As described above, thesecond bell crank 23 is urged by thespring 32 to turn clockwise in Figure 1, so that thepresser disc 33 is normally held in a pressing position where a lower periperal portion of thepresser disc 33 projects into theguide groove 19. The presser portion ordisc 33 is separated upstream from thestopper portion 28 by a distance slightly greater than the maximum extent of each fastener part P in the longitudinal direction of theguide track 19 so that when the first andsecond bell cranks - As shown in Figure 1, the
actuating rod 24 extends longitudinally of thechute 11 and is slidably supported on a holder 35 secured to the underside of thechute 11. Therod 24 projects at its opposite ends from the holder 35 and has a lower end pivotably connected by apin 36 to a distal end of the leg 27 of thefirst bell crank 22. Thepin 36 extends diametrically through therod 24 between a pair ofend flanges rod 24 further includes an intermediate actuatingflange 38 disposed between the holder 35 and an upper one of theflanges 37. The intermediate actuatingflange 38 is located on an upstream side of anabutment pin 39 secured to a distal end of thearm 31 of thesecond bell crank 23. Acompression coil spring 40 is disposed around therod 24 and acts between the holder 35 and the actuatingflange 38 to urge therod 24 in the downstream direction of thechute 11, thereby bringing theflange 38 into abutment of thepin 39 to turn thesecond bell crank 23 counterclockwise in Figure 1 against the force of thetorsion spring 32. - A fluid-actuated
cylinder 41 is supported on the holder 35 by asupport plate 42 and includes a piston rod 43 reciprocably movable in a direction parallel to the actuatingrod 24. The piston rod 43 supports on its outer end an engagement collar 44 held in engagement with astopper flange 45 disposed at an upper end of the actuatingrod 24. The piston rod 43 is normally held in a fully extended position as shown in Figure 1. In this instance, the intermediate actuatingflange 38 is spaced a distance from theabutment pin 39 on thesecond bell crank 23. - The posture-
control block 14, as shown in Figure 4, has a rectangular shape and includes a downwardly openhorizontal guide channel 46 extending longitudinally therethrough for the passage of the pusher 18 (Figure 1), and a centralvertical aperture 47 communicating with theguide channel 46 for the passage of the fastener parts P (Figure 5). Thevertical aperture 47 has a substantially square shape and is defined jointly by a frontvertical wall 47a, a pair of opposed sidevertical walls block 14 also has an upper surface recessed around upper edges of the front and sidevertical walls guide surface 48 sloping downwardly convergently toward theaperture 47. Thesloped guide surface 48 is composed of afront guide surface 48a contiguous to the frontvertical wall 47a, and a pair of opposedside guide surfaces vertical walls front guide surface 48a and theside guide surfaces 48b have different angles of inclination and theside guide surfaces 48b are steeper than thefront guide surface 48a. Thefront guide surface 48a preferably has substantially the same angle of inclination as thechute 11, as shown in Figure 5. With theguide surface 48 thus provided, the rear vertical wall 47d extends upwardly beyond the front and sidevertical walls - The
parts supplying apparatus 10 thus constructed operates as follows. The fluid-actuatedcylinder 41 is operated to retract its piston rod 43 from the fully extended position of Figure 1 whereupon the actuatingrod 24 slides to move in the downstream direction of thechute 11 under the force of thecompression coil spring 40. This sliding movement of the actuatingrod 24 causes thefirst bell crank 22 to turn counterclockwise in Figure 1, thereby moving thestopper portion 28 through theslot 20 into theguide track 19, as indicated by phantom lines. Substantially at the same time or preferably slightly thereafter, the intermediate actuatingflange 38 impinges upon theabutment pin 39 to turn thesecond bell crank 23 counterclockwise in Figure 1 against the force of the torsion coil spring, thereby bringing the presser portion ordisc 33 out of pressing engagement with a leading fastener part P1, as indicated by phantom lines. With the result that the leading fastener part Pl slides downwardly along theguide track 19 until it engages thestopper portion 28. - Then the
cylinder 41 is actuated to extend its piston rod 43 to move the actuatingrod 24 in the upstream direction of thechute 11 against the force of thecompression coil spring 40. This movement of the actuatingrod 24 causes the intermediate actuatingflange 38 to disengage from theabutment pin 29, whereupon thesecond bell crank 23 is turned clockwise in Figure 1 by the force of thetorsion coil spring 32, thereby bringing thepresser disc 33 into engagement with the next succeeding fastener part P2. During that time, thefirst bell crank 22 is also turned clockwise to retract thestopper portion 28 from theguide track 19, thereby allowing the leading fastener part Pl to slide downwardly along theguide track 19 toward thedischarge end 12 of thechute 11. Thus, in response to recprocation of the actuatingrod 24, the first and second bell cranks 22, 23 oscillate in timed relation to one another so as to move thestopper portion 28 and thepresser portion 33 to alternately project into and retract from theguide track 19, with the result that one fastener part P is delivered from thechute 11 to the loading station S upon completion of each oscillation of the bell cranks 22, 23. - The fastener part P, which has been released from the
dropper mechanism 13, falls along theguide track 19 and is discharged from the discharge end 12 of thechute 11 to the loading station S in theloading unit 17, as shown in Figure 5. In this instance, the fastener part P is guided along the slopedfront guide surface 48a into thevertical aperture 47, then enters thehorizontal guide channel 46 in an inclined posture, and finally lies flatwise over the bottom wall of theguide groove 15 in theguide block 16. Occasionally, the fastener part P rebounds from theguide block 16 Ipwardly rightwardly in this figure to return into theaperture 47 and impinges upon the rear vertical wall 47d. The impinged fastener part P falls through thevertical aperture 47 into theguide channel 46 while gobbling or flappling thevertical aperture 47. The Fallen fastener part P lies flatwise over the bottom vall of theguide groove 15. Then thepusher 18 is ictuated to feed the fastener part P from the loading station to the working station (not shown) where the astener part P is attached to a garment fabric or issembled with a mating fastener part.
